lmomgam: L-moments of the Gamma Distribution

Description

This function estimates the L-moments of the Gamma distribution given the parameters (α and β) from pargam. The L-moments in terms of the parameters are complicated and solved numerically. This function is adaptive to the 2-parameter and 3-parameter Gamma versions supported by this package. For legacy reasons, lmomco continues to use a port of Hosking's FORTRAN into R if the 2-parameter distribution is used but the 3-parameter generalized Gamma distribution calls upon theoLmoms.max.ostat. Alternatively, the theoTLmoms could be used: theoTLmoms(para) is conceptually equivalent to the internal calls to theoLmoms.max.ostat made for the lmomgam implementation.
